This Moment All Around Me

, ,

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A photo–no words–capturing a moment from the past week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment–a moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

“This Moment” is a ritual found on Life inspired by the Wee Man adopted from SouleMama which was introduced to me by many, many bloggers. Mary at Living With Food Allergies and Celiac Disease finally got me to give it a try! Do visit her wonderful blog to read about family, life, and health.

If you have a {this moment} post, please leave your link in the comment section so I can stop by and take a look!

    I agree with Corinne! You are a natural at this :) And, this photo couldn’t be more appropriate for the Christmas season.

    ‘Believe’ – I like the image : a suspension of ‘Belief’? – the way the word hangs in space…
    It works at two levels: one, as personal inspiration and two, in the context of the arcade, the way advertising ‘sells’ messages. :)

    I ‘believe’ my post might be fun to read – do come visit:
